Rumsfeld: He'll get exceptions to dodge Povetkin for 1-2 years. MVC: He won't do that. MVC: He will avoid Povetkin for at least a year if not a year and a half. EDIT: I just saw your edit. I guess you meant 2015. Ok.
Oh! I don't think he'll give up the title, either. It brings prestige, money, and leverage. Unless he loses it in the ring, he won't vacate barring an absolute last resort, and I don't see it coming to that. Enter the political loopholes that Wilder can and will exploit. He'll get more leeway than most, being a commodity that is an American heavyweight title holder. He'd be stupid not to exploit these. They will be there for him in abundance. Kind of like the Cotto-Geale winner being mandated to face Golovkin - only fools believed that would happen. :smoke
Haha it is true that WBC is ridiculous when it comes to granting extentions, ala Vitali/Ward etc. It might happen with Wilder but I'm quite sure he won't be crushing cans for long. He will be pressured to take that Povetkin fight and I fully expect him to take it and win in resounding fashion.
Yeah he has been doing that during the beginning of his career, nobody denies that. But he's fought some great fighters.
Risin' up, back on the street Did my time, took my chances Went the distance now I'm back on my feet Just a man and his will to survive So many times it happens too fast You change your passion for glory Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive It's the eye of the tiger It`s the thrill of the fight Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger Face to face, out in the heat Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry They stack the odds till we take to the streets For the kill, with the skill to survive It's the eye of the tiger It`s the thrill of the fight Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger Risin' up, straight to the top Had the guts, got the glory Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop Just a man and his will to survive It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And he's watching us all With the eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger
Scott lost every time he stepped up, so no, he isn't very good and isn't it strange how Scott lost to Chisora before getting gifted a "title shot" against Wilder? you don't see it? :think
